“He cultivates an atmosphere of deep and unapologetic reflection.” NPR

A soulful songwriter with a deep, quiet power, José González has quickly gained a loyal following worldwide, wooing his audience with probing lyrics, intricate guitar melodies and a “beautiful yet haunting voice” (Spin.com). Born in Sweden to Argentinian parents, González seamlessly integrates the sounds of his Latin American roots with sublime introspective folk punctuated by rock panache, yielding “one of the most recognizable sounds in indie rock” (Billboard). Following his luminous performance during our 2015-16 season, we conclude like The Telegraph (U.K.) that he is “a spellbinding talent.”
